Last week, The Dallas Morning News uncovered that a Texas officer confessed to forging jail records during Bland’s stint at Waller County Jail. Now, The Huffington Postreveals a second responding officer at the scene of Bland’s arrest claims he was threatened into silence and prevented from revealing specific details. Prairie View cop Michael Kelley told The Post that two sections of his incident report were omitted, including information that would reflect poorly on arresting officer Brian Encinia. Kelley noted that he overheard Encinia admit uncertainty regarding what charge to pin on Bland. Kelley also documented that Bland had a large mark on her head, leading him to believe she had been struck. After he filed his report, those two details were removed. His two page report was shaved down to one page and submitted without his approval. When he pressed to testify in front of the grand jury, Assistant District Attorney Warren Diepraam told him it wouldn’t reflect well on his career, Kelley told The Post. A grand jury eventually charged Encinia in Bland’s death, but the officer was only found guilty of perjury.
